About the
artist

Carletta
Carrington Wilson's mixed-media collages have been described as
"decorative with a message." Textiles, found objects, beads
and paper revolve around a central iconic image. These
elements serve the purpose of enhancing, highlighting, inferring
and interrogating the image and the ideas it presents and
portrays.

In addition
to an iconic image Wilson's collage series are accompanied by a
title poem, which illuminates the sensibilities that are being
visually expressed..
